I have the Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS, my computer recognizes that it’s connected but it’s as if Star Citizen doesn’t recognize it. I can’t change any bindings, my ship doesn’t react to any movements on the joystick. I selected the warthog in the control profile and still nothing works. Am i missing something? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

We haven't really heard much about Hangars in a long time. It was our first big taste of playable Star Citizen and it's been around forever, but recently it's kind of faded into the background a bit. It was part of pretty much everyone's original pledge, free hangar fees on your starting planet, but with the PTU as it is now we aren't really seeing the original intended game play. I'm sure It's on the way, and hangars will be a thing again, but in the meantime I wanted to address something I've really been looking forward to recently.

Tinkering in hangars. I know you can always get the repair drones at Covalex to do the dirty work for you, but I'm really looking forward to tinkering on ships in my hangar. Making repairs, swapping out parts. The physicality of ships in Star Citizen is really going to let you interact with them outside of simply staring at a menu. We aren't exactly sure how much can be swapped and tweaked without just wading menus, but I'm really hoping we get some pretty granular control over ship components.

I'd love to be able to pick up a gutted M50 for cheap, and keep it in my Hangar and slowly build it back up to a flyable ship through part scrounging and a bit of bartering. Once it's fixed you either keep it around for Sunday afternoon laps around the asteroid field, or sell it off to fund your next project.

We don't know to what degree we can repair wrecked ships, but "ship mechanic" sounds like a hell of a lot of fun.

I mean... it's technically possible - running index/stock tracking by some externally community built means and giving investors and corps/orgs the tools they need to sustain business or trading.

I remember in the days of 2.x, when we landed at a pad, there was a little preview of the landing pad and your ship so you could nicely line everything up and have a smooth landing. Now I have to do everything by eye or go into third person which is a real immersion breaker. Are there any plans for CIG to improve the landing experience?
